Kendrick Lamar

GNX is the sixth studio album by American rapper Kendrick Lamar. It was released as a surprise album through PGLang and Interscope Records on November 22, 2024. Titled after the Buick Regal model, and a follow-up to Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers (2022), GNX is Lamar's first album after his departure from Top Dawg Entertainment and Aftermath Entertainment. Lamar and Dave Free executive produced the album, which features uncredited appearances from AzChike, Deyra Barrera, Dody6, Hitta J3, Ink, Kamasi Washington, Peysoh, Roddy Ricch, Sam Dew, Siete, SZA, Wallie the Sensei, and YoungThreat.

At this point, every Kendrick Lamar album is an event. When DAMN. hit the web a little early last night, there was an onslaught of tweeters jumping to call it another classic (and just a few haters) before it was even officially available anywhere. That’s not too surprising; DAMN. is one of the most immediate things Kendrick has ever done. Every song slaps you in the face on first listen. Kendrick’s delivery remains unparalleled by anyone in the game right now. The production is hot, the rhymes are hotter, and early listens already reveal a few lyrical mic drops. Still, as we’ve all probably learned by now, Kendrick albums take a long time to unpack. When I first heard To Pimp A Butterfly, the best album of 2015 and maybe the best album of this decade thus far, I was admittedly a little underwhelmed. Kendrick was progressing faster than I, as a listener, could keep up. So with that said, consider this less a review and more a collection of first impressions

Black Panther The Album Music From And Inspired By, or simply Black Panther: The Album, is the soundtrack album for the Marvel Studios film Black Panther. It was curated and produced by Kendrick Lamar and was released by Interscope Records on February 9, 2018. Ludwig Göransson composed the score for the film.

Kendrick Lamar, TDE CEO Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith, and director Ryan Coogler put their heads together for this album of music from and inspired by Black Panther. Along with TDE stars SZA, ScHoolBoy Q, and Jay Rock, the trio pulled artists from across the hip-hop spectrum. Future, 2 Chainz, Travis Scott, and Vince Staples mingle with Sacramento spitter Mozzy and Bay Area crew SOB X RBE. The Weeknd, Jorja Smith, and Khalid represent R&B’s shining guard. And Kendrick destroys the five songs he’s featured on. Marrying sound and vision, a movement and a movie, Black Panther taps into Kendrick’s and T’Challa’s revolutionary spirit.

Bad Kid Chill City is a 2018 EP by American rapper Kendrick Lamar. It surfaced by surprise on 30 September, 2018 and it is uncertain if the material is all new, for a forthcoming project or just an assembly of previously unreleased material.

Habits & Contradictions is a 2012 CD by American rapper Schoolboy Q. This was released by Top Dawg Entertainment because he is a "top dawg" and dawgs do it for their fans.

The timely visuals come after the rapper almost came to blows in an Atlanta shopping mall, and feature YoungBoy doing his best to stay away from the paparazzi. The Outside Today kicks off with the paps outside of the rapper house, trying to snap a picture of him. Bad at Love is a song recorded by singer and songwriter Halsey. Bartier Cardi is a song recorded by American rapper Cardi B featuring guest vocals from American rapper 21 Savage. Drake has extended his own record with Gods Plan, which has reached its fourth week in the number one spot on Billboards Hot chart. Bazzis track “Mine” recently debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 after gaining streaming success earlier this year.

Working once again with her brother Rollo Armstrong, who produced the majority of the album, Dido collaborated with a "who's who" of hit makers including Brian Eno, Jeff Bhasker, Rick Nowels and Greg Kurstin to create an album of finely, self-penned songs and soul-baring pop with electro, folk, hip hop, ambient and dance infusions. The album GIRL WHO GOT AWAY is a captivating collection of well-crafted songs and stunning production: from the euphoric "Go Dreaming," to the barbed wit of End of Night, the folky "Sitting On The Roof Of The World" to the dance-y-yet-dark "Blackbir" to the album's title track which Dido shares: "It's one of my favorite songs on the record," she says. "…but I guess it also sums up the last few years for me. Taking a step back from it all and going off to have the whole happy adventure of starting a family and making an album that I really am so proud of. And now I just can't wait for people to hear it."
